Although today Musk is more busy with his fight against the Brazilian justice system, we must not forget that the billionaire entered Twitter with great promises and a lot of ambition. Musk’s idea was to turn the social network into an “app for everything”, in which we could do everything from shopping online and managing our money to watching streaming videos, without having to switch to another app.
In practice, the changes haven’t been that big. Aside from the rebranding to “X,” the service is still a social network; it’s gained additional features, many of which have sparked controversy, like AI that generates uncensored images. But X is far from the “app for everything” Musk promised; today, it has taken a small step toward realizing that dream, with the launch of in beta from the X TV app for smart TVs.
X TV is being touted as a revolution in the way we enjoy content on television; in fact, it is a direct rival to YouTube based on the content already existing on X. In other words, it is a different way of watching the videos and live broadcasts that are uploaded to the social network, in addition to classic videos.
X TV’s interface is very reminiscent of YouTube, and we imagine that’s no accident. The home screen is filled with video recommendations uploaded by accounts we follow, as well as videos recommended by the X algorithm; if you notice that the “For You” tab on X recommends interesting content, then the experience should be similar on the TV.
The app also boasts of “exclusive content”, but everything indicates that it refers to the content that official X accounts already upload to the platform. In the same way, the app will offer access to live events and newsbut he is referring to shows already broadcast via X, such as SpaceX launches offered exclusively on the social network and now also available on television.

It’s clear that X TV wants to compete with YouTube; among the content it promotes are some of the most popular channels on the Google app, such as the IGN video game channel or the youtuber technology, iJustine. It also boasts of access to sports with WWE and NFL channelsalthough at the moment it doesn’t seem like it will offer access to meetings from the app.
The positive aspect of X TV is that, There is no advertising at the moment.; The CEO of for the release of the final version. In the future, we should expect advertising, similar to the X app.
Therefore, if you usually use X to watch videos, the X TV app may be indispensable, as it allows you to enjoy them on a larger screen size and probably with better quality; although the company has not said anything about the latter. In addition to Google Play, X TV is also available on other smart TV platforms such as LG.
